After five days of deliberations, the jury found Officer Jeronimo Yanez not guilty of all counts in the July 2016 shooting of Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, a suburb of St. Paul.

The video shows the situation escalated quickly, with Yanez shooting Castile just seconds after Castile volunteered, "Sir, I have to tell you, I do have a firearm on me". Yanez said he pulled Castile over because of a broken tail light on his vehicle, but radio transmissions later revealed that the officer thought Castile resembled a suspect in the robbery of the Super USA convenience store just days earlier. "Are you kidding me right now?" "My son loved this city, and this city killed my son", Valeria also remarked.

Castile's death was one of multiple police-related deaths involving black people that has triggered widespread racial discontent in the United States.

Squad-car video played for the jury shows a wide view of the traffic stop and the shooting, with the camera pointed toward Castile's auto.

During the trial, Yanez argued that he fired into the auto because he thought Castile was going for his registered gun.
